Despite what a certain biased, wealthiest man on Earth may have us believe, we’re still not fully comfortable handing our keys over to self-driving cars. Sure, they’ve made a lot of strides in recent years, but... y’know. It’s a lot of faith to place in a computer system that still does dangerous things on the regular.
But hey, fully autonomous driving vehicles are apparently safe enough for states like California, which greenlit both Waymo and Cruise to begin offering driverless delivery and taxi services last fall. Now granted, these permits came with some caveats — Cruise cabs couldn’t travel faster than 35 mph and were only allowed on roads at night, for instance — but we’re still not surprised to see videos like this one cropping up less than six months after getting the go-ahead.
